Benefits of technology

[0040]The present invention is a method and system for computing a surprisingness score for sentences in geoscience text using theory guided natural language processing and machine learning. The present invention output's sentences from a textual document with a surprisingness score which can be used to rank sentences across documents sets and search results. This can be used within search user interfaces, to surface signals (sentences) containing the most surprising sentences buried in search result lists. These can be presented to users of the system, potentially accelerating learning opportunities.
[0044]This would be useful because there is too much potentially relevant information available for geoscientists to read. Therefore, facilitating serendipity and identifying small patterns (surprising sentences) within texts could spark a learning event and ideation, leading to a new business opportunity that current methods do not allow.

Embodiment Construction

[0054]The various values and configuration discussed in the following sections can be varied and are listed just to illustrate one embodiment. The invention may be embodied in several different forms and should not be taken as limited to the embodiments disclosed. The disclosed embodiments address the computation of a surprisingness score for a sentence in geoscience text. The disclosed embodiments are provided by way of illustration to ensure thorough disclosure and the nature of the inventions to people skilled in the art.

[0055]In this document the following definitions are used. A geoscience lexicon is a set of terms that describe concepts in a geoscience domain. For example, in petroleum geoscience they may include the terms ‘oil well’, ‘basin’, ‘source rock’, ‘reservoir’, ‘trap’, and ‘seal’. Named entities are real world instances of things. For example, an oil well is an entity, an attribute of that entity would be its status (such as ‘dry’ or ‘oil’). A Named Entity would be a...

Abstract

The invention is a data processing method and system for suggesting insightful and surprising sentences to geoscientists from unstructured text. The data processing system makes the necessary calculations to assign a surprisingness score to detect sentences containing several signals which when combined exponentially, have tendencies to give rise to surprise. In particular, the data processing system operates on any digital unstructured text derived from academic literature, company reports, web pages and other sources. Detected sentences can be used to stimulate ideation and learning events for geoscientists in industries such as oil and gas, economic mining, space exploration and Geo-health.
